What is Soft Wash?

The term "Soft Wash" or "No Pressure" roof wash became popular with reputable contractors as a way to separate themselves from the "fly-by-night" power washers trying to "stay busy". Pressure cleaning has it's place but, it is not on the roof, especially an asphalt roof! Everyone has heard the stories of washing the granules off the shingles, tabs broken or entire shingles torn off. With 3000 lbs. of pressure coming out a small nozzle, it's not hard to do. Soft wash roof cleaning is a low pressure (60psi) process used to remove algae, stains, mildew and lichens.

Roof washing is the process to remove dirt, algae and moss from roofs. Roof washing can extend the duration of a roof's ability to function. Algae and other types of build-up often form on parts of roofs that are shaded, and can reduce a roof's life expectancy. Roof cleaning may be accomplished with our roof wash solution.

Our cleaning process is highly effective on all types of roofing material: asphalt, metal, tile, rubber and new composite materials.

What can be done to remove those unsightly stains?

Fortunately, this problem can be eliminated.

This is a relatively inexpensive procedure that can add years to your roof. Roof washing is very inexpensive compared to a new roof. We will save you thousands!

What's eating your roof?

A general misconception among the public is the fact that discolored roofs are the result of age and deterioration that soon require replacement. To the contrary, discoloration is the result of an air-borne fungus known as Gloeocapsa Magma. It can be identified as dark or black staining or streaks and is most noticeable on a lighter colored roofs, but can be found on most any roof. Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on humidity, heat, and some form of nutrient. Our roof washing process cost around 95% less than the cost of a new roof.

Why is roof fungus a problem?

According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association ( ARMA ), roofs that have a substantial amount of this algae can absorb as much as 30% more heat due to the black pigmentation. This heat absorption leads to shingle deterioration and higher electric bills. Moreover, not only are these roofs unsightly, the presence of this fungus in such close proximity to a living environment can pose health concerns for those with allergy problems
